So my 1.9tdi has an uber loud whistle from the turbo, I've replaced the top, short length of rubber hose for another one and the whistle is still there, any more areas to check?

Remove the hose from maf to the turbo and check for play in the turbine. Almost sounds like your turbo is going down. In most cases you won't be able to hear a airleak if you did this test with the engine revving up.
If you did this with applying pressure to the intake with the engine off i will suggest that you fill a spray bottle with soap water and spray it around on the hoses and look for places where bubbles accumulate. -
So I checked the turbine shaft for play, there is some play there, is there supposed to be none? Only reason I say that is my old man said old turbos used to run on oil bearings, is this correct? If so is that a system utilised by the garret t3? I didnt have time to check for air leaks at the weekend, may have time tomorrow after work so will see.

ideally smoke test it,
if not pressurise it,
failing that look for damp oil patches.
checked the intercooler?
and it should have a little bit of play up down, left right but not forward and back
and yes, about the same as a T3

At the moment I haven't done anything but change the top hose as I heard these can deteriorate, there is an oily residue inside the top hose don't know if this is significant?
When I first got the car it was smoking like a train, whilst looking over the engine bay I found that one of the hoses to/from the intercooler was not clamped properly, as in the jubilee clip was hanging off, I connected that up and the smoking stopped. So I don't know how long it was like that so don't know if it caused any damage.
